Default Looking for heavier t-shirts

Hi,

Have been reading this site for a while now and have to say it's fanatstic... this is my first post.

I have been sent various samples:

Earthpositive
Continental N03
Gilden 64000 Ringspun

I like the fit of the N03 and Earthpositve but they seem a bit thin (the white is see through). Does anyone know of any tees with a similar fit but slightly heavier? (Ringspun would be good but not essential)...

Many thanks in advance

You are looking for a european cut fitted t-shirt. The vogue is to use a lighter weight typically at the 150-160gsm range. Stedman produces however a shirt in 180gsm called the Stedman Comfort t. This is in men's, ladies and child variants. Whilst not fully fitted it will give you the desired effect at the best price. They are soon to launch the 'Prime' t-shirt which will be 210 gsm, and is essentially the Hanes Beefy T under a different brand.

Another reason we used MDP is that you can mix and match colours and sizes, so the 20 shirts to get end rate can be a range of products and sizes.
